Following his capture from Whitehaven ahead of the 2023 season, Liam “Ronnie” Cooper soon established himself as one of the Lions’ most consistent and stand-out performers for the club. A middle with a tremendous work-rate and appetite for defending, Liam was then devastated to sustain a serious injury at Sheffield in late April after making just ten appearances. However, he is now well on the way to full recovery and will be itching to get stuck in again in 2024! “Ronnie” said: “It was an easy decision for me to make to re-sign again at Swinton Lions. Both me and my family have loved our first year at the club, as it felt so welcoming. It’s been a frustrating season for myself, especially with the shoulder injury and having surgery and being out for the second part of the year. I therefore wanted to repay the club and come back better and stronger after my time out, and be ready to go again in 2024!” Photo: EmilyShootsRugby About The Club Swinton Lions Rugby Club, based in Swinton, Greater Manchester, is a historic rugby league team with a rich legacy in the sport.
